Can you tell me which type of shoes are good for table tennis?

Hi Hindal,
Take a look at the lesson on The Right Table Tennis Shoes. It will give you a few ideas.

Choosing a Table Tennis Table
The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

Hi Hindal
Here's a great in-depth article on table tennis shoes by Alex Polyakov, author of "Breaking 2000": http://www.breaking2000.com/table-tennis-shoes/.
The author also makes recommendations based on the fact that many of us do not play on official table tennis floors, such as Gerflor or Teraflex.
For the record, I just bought a pair of Asics Gel-Rocket 7 volleyball (yes, volleyball!) shoes to play table tennis.
Good luck!
Thanks for that link Maurice.
